Description

Previously, the gdm_smartcard_extension_is_visible() function returned "TRUE"instead of the "ret" variable. Consequently, the smartcard login could not bedisabled in the system-config-authentication window if the pcsd package wasinstalled. With this update, gdm_smartcard_extension_is_visible() has beenmodified to return the correct value. As a result, the described error no longeroccurs. (BZ#616755)
